Thu, 25 March 2004 15:04 torque - learn this equation p = l/a where p = pressure, l = load, a = area. if the pressure is the same (eg 30psi), the load the same (eg 1000kg car) the area must be the same. the original question is bad - why do worn tyres have no grip and slicks have lots? this is a pointless question, its like comparing apples to oranges. its stupid to compare a worn out street tyre with a racing slick!! the question should be : seeing as racing tyres have no grooves why dont my worn tyres grip as good as when they have lots of tread? - now we can make a decent comparison. but heres another question basically asking the same thing : - would a slick that has been grooved have the same,less or more grip than an ungrooved slick? why? and by grip im not talking about racing conditions,im imagining for example the start line take off where the tyres are at low temps and have not had time to heat up.
